(Round Seeded.) Decidedly the best of the round seeded thick leaved group. Because 
of the enormous yield, long standing character, and the deep green color and smooth 
character of the leaves, this is highly recommended for canning as well as for 
home and market garden. Leaves very large, thick, broad arrow-shaped with 
rounded tip.

(Round Seeded.) An excellent sort for long distance shipping and, in home and 
market garden, to succeed the extra early sorts. Plants dense, compact, with extremely 
dark green leaves that are roundish, thick and crumpled; very late to produce flower 
stalks. Similar to Victoria, but definitely superior in long standing quality.

(Round Seeded.) Extremely long standing, smooth, dark green leaved sort for home 
and market garden as well as for canning. Plants large and spreading with large 
thick leaves that are only slightly crumpled. Spring sown crops are very often free 
of flower stalks until midsummer.

(Round Seeded.) In demand for home and market gardens because of the uniform, 
handsome plants and remarkable long standing quality. Resembles Savoy Leaved 
or Bloomsdale, but is a trifle later, of more compact habit, a trifle darker green 
and remains free of flower stalks about two weeks longer.
